The Hooden on the Water - Ashford

7/10

Rustic, fairly small, with an open fire. Difficult to park. Very good food including mexican, ideal place to take your partner but not a family gathering, and a fantastic amount of real ales.

From Folkestone, leave M20 motorway at junction 10, the main Ashford one. Take the first exit and follow ssigns to McCarthy Glen shopping centre. Go past the shopping centre and also Ashford International train station. You'll now come to a junction, go left.
Approx. 400 yards down the road that you are currently on, is another left, take this and follow it to its end (dead end) and the pub is at the end by the waters edge.
